NEW: CCAGW's @ThomasASchatz and @RepAaronBean make the case for eliminating CMMI, which has not reduced costs or improved healthcare. After 15 years of wasteful spending and failed experiments, it’s time to pass H.R. 8293 and shut down @CMSinnovates for good.
Congress should end this abysmal ObamaCare failure

America can’t win the AI race by subsidizing 20th-century copper phone lines. While China is pouring billions into next-gen tech, America wastes billions of dollars a year propping up ancient copper networks that serve just ~3% of households. America needs to modernize our

Copper wire retirement is critical to ensuring the resiliency and security of our nation’s networks, but it must be done in a responsible manner so that customers understand what will happen when their legacy service is retired.

Thank you, @GovWaste, for having me join the launch of the 2026 Congressional Pig Book. This year's edition exposes 8,392 earmarks costing $23.7 billion. That's billions of your tax dollars for lawmakers to secure their re-elections with earmarks, which I vehemently oppose.

Demand for #WiFi is surging, making it more important than ever to protect and expand unlicensed spectrum. In a new blog post, @GovWaste highlights @ABIresearch’s May report, which demonstrates the need to preserve 6 GHz for unlicensed use at WRC-27.

Wi-Fi innovation is booming since the FCC opened the 6 GHz band for unlicensed use in 2020: devices using the band grew from 200 million to 1.1 billion in just five years. @GovWaste shares why the U.S. should protect the 6 GHz band ahead of WRC-27.

The Tennessee legislature has unwisely passed legislation that will force more than 125 pharmacies to close, cause thousands of job losses, reduce mail order prescriptions for veterans, and restrict specialty drugs for diseases like cancer; Gov. Lee should veto the bill.

Thank you, @RepAaronBean for introducing the Abolish the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation Act to end @CMSinnovates. This wasteful, ineffective bureaucracy has failed patients and taxpayers for years. Read CCAGW’s statement of support:

CCAGW’s case study of CMMI’s WiSER model, which uses opaque AI algorithms to decide which treatments can be authorized for Medicare patients even if a provider says they are medically necessary, is another example of why CMMI should be eliminated. bit.ly/48zux0I
